I am trying to compare the hours worked during a 3 month time frame for two groups of people, male and female. What I want to tell is if there is statistical significance between the average total hours worked for men and the average total hours worked for women. What would be the best way to determine this? The only data I have is the number of hours worked for each person. So I know the average hours worked for 26 men is 77.7 and for 19 women it is 58.9, but how do I know if this is a significant difference.
